This paper deals with a recognition system for unconstrained off-line Bangla handwritten numerals. To take care of variability involved in the writing style of different individuals, a robust scheme is presented here. The scheme is mainly based on new features obtained from the concept of water overflow from the reservoir as well as topological and structural features of the numerals. The proposed scheme is tested on data collected from different individuals of various background and we obtained an overall recognition accuracy of about 92.8% from 12000 data.
